by lurking through various threads I think the problem is that GLEW isn't being linked correctly, following advice I tried compiling GLEW statically myself however that didn't work. my current search directory settings are:

CompilerC:\path to glew\glew-1.5.5-win32\glew-1.5.5\includeand LinkerC:\path to glew\glew-1.5.5-win32\glew-1.5.5\libWith -lopengl32 set as the linker options

I have glew set as static with #define GLEW_STATICand libglew_static.a in \glew-1.5.5-win32\glew-1.5.5\libAny and all help is appreciated!
